W：That's awful.Don't worry about coming to the party.I completely understand. M：Thanks.She was 15 years old, so at least she had a good, long life.I think she simply died of old age.I just need a few days to myself, but I should be feeling back to normal pretty soon. W：Of course.If there's anything you need, just give me a call.I can make you some food, or come and spend some time with you if you need.

One thing that interested me was the bitter fights the researchers got into with one another about their different ways of measuring the expansion rate of space-time.On second thoughts, maybe this was a lesson I was supposed to draw from Contact, but, at the time, I didn't regard such politics as a scientist problem.Instead, what caught my attention was the portrayal of Eleanor “Ellie” Arroway, a scientist who searched for alien intelligence.In the film version, Ellie is seen listening to space using a pair of headphones connected to the Very Large Array(VLA)—a real facility in New Mexico. Astronomers don't really do this for the purposes of actual research because there is rarely any point.This is the kind of detail that is unimportant for the film of Contact, but how it portrays radio astronomy is one of the inaccuracies I occasionally hear scientists complain about.I was lucky enough to observe the behaviour of some water molecules(分子) in the Orion nebula(猎户座星云) using the VLA for my third-year lab course.We didn't listen to the data.Instead, we processed it so that we could look at it. That was probably the only time I ever excelled in the lab, and I was so excited to be a real-life Ellie Arroway.Later, I was forced to think more about the human aspects of my working experience.I witnessed unnecessarily heated arguments between scientists, complete with shouting and chalkboard punching(用拳猛击)．But, thankfully, Contact had not only introduced me to the idea of radio astronomy as a possible career path, it had also given me a road map for remaining calm in the confused conflict of astronomical wonder and human politics. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/文学。本文为记叙文，主要介绍了《超时空接触》这部作品对作者的深远影响。 24．What can be learned about the author in his teenage years? A．He watched Contact's film version in his freshman year. B．His interest in science was inspired by Contact. C．He read a wide range of science fiction books. D．His favourite science fiction author was Robert Heinlein. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段后两句可知，《超时空接触》激发了作者对科学的兴趣，故选B项。 25．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Detecting the sound of space. B．Searching for alien intelligence. C．Communicating with non-experts. D．Visiting the VLA in New Mexico. 答案　A 解析　代词指代题。第二段末句提到，Ellie用一副连接到甚大阵(VLA)的耳机收听太空的声音，结合画线词所在句句意“天文学家这样做并不是为了实际的研究，因为这几乎没有任何意义”可知，“this”指代上文提到的“探测太空的声音”，故选A项。 26．Why does the author mention his third-year lab course? A．To demonstrate his strong interest in lab projects. B．To explain why scientists sometimes make complaints. C．To show his observations had achieved positive results. D．To prove the film of Contact presented radio astronomy incorrectly. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。第三段第二句提到，科学家抱怨《超时空接触》这部电影对射电天文学的描述是不准确的，本段后两句提到，作者在第三年的实验课程中使用VLA观察了猎户座星云中一些水分子的行为，没有听到数据，由此证明上文观点，《超时空接触》这部电影对射电天文学的描述是错误的，故选D项。 27．What lesson did Contact teach the author? A．How to grasp career opportunities. B．How to get an excellent score on a lab course. C．How to deal with conflicts between scientists. D．How to explain the science of radio astronomy. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段后两句可知，《超时空接触》这部电影教会作者如何处理科学家之间的冲突，故选C项。 We use what is known as inner speech, where we talk to ourselves, to evaluate situations and make decisions.Now, a robot has been trained to speak aloud its inner decision-making process, giving us a view of how it responds to contradictory demands. Arianna Pipitone and Antonio Chella at the University of Palermo, Italy, programmed a humanoid robot named Pepper, with software that models human cognitive(认知的) processes, which allowed Pepper to retrieve(检索) relevant information from its memory and find the correct way to act based on human commands, as well as a text-to-speech processor.It allowed Pepper to voice its decision-making process while completing a task.“With inner speech, we can better understand what the robot wants to do and what its plan is，” says Chella. The researchers asked Pepper to set a dinner table according to etiquette(礼仪) rules they had programmed into the robot.Inner speech was either enabled or disabled to see how it affected Pepper's ability to do what was instructed. When instructed to place a napkin on a fork with its inner speech enabled, Pepper asked itself what the etiquette required and concluded that this request went against the rules it had been given.It then asked the researchers if putting the napkin on the fork was the correct action.When told it was, Pepper said, “OK, I prefer to follow your desire，” and explained how it was going to place the napkin on the fork. When asked to do the same task with inner speech disabled, Pepper knew this contradicted etiquette rules, so it didn't perform the task or explain why. “With the potential for robots to become more common in the future, this type of programming could help the public understand their abilities and limitations，” says Sarah Sebo at the University of Chicago.“It maintains people's trust and enables cooperation and interactions between humans and robots.However, this experiment only used a single human participant.It's unclear how their approach would compare across a wide range of human participants.” 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/科学与技术。本文为说明文，主要讲述了有关机器人的一项实验，目的是让其经过训练，可以大声说出自己的内心决策过程。 28．Why does the author mention how people make decisions in the first paragraph? A．To introduce the topic. B．To make comparisons. C．To provide an example. D．To support his argument. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据下文有关机器人经过训练，可以大声说出自己的内心决策过程的实验可推知，第一段提到人们通过内心活动做出决策是为了引出这一话题，故选A项。 29．How did Pepper react to the contradictory instruction with its inner speech enabled? A．It failed to complete the task. B．It followed the etiquette rules. C．It made a random decision. D．It communicated with the researchers. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段前两句可知，机器人Pepper的内心语言被激活后，它面对矛盾的指令会和研究人员进行交流，询问该行为是否正确，故选D项。 30．What did Sarah Sebo think of the research? A．It was creative but worthless. B．It was a good try but the result was a failure. C．It was inspiring but needed further evidence. D．It was carefully designed but poorly performed. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，Sarah Sebo认为对机器人的这种编程虽然有助于人类和机器人之间的互动，但是这个实验只使用了一个人类参与者，没有证据表明如何在广泛的人类参与者中进行比较。所以从她的表述可以推知，她认为这项研究很鼓舞人心，但还需要进一步的研究和证实，故选C项。 31．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Robot Taught to Be Polite B．Robot Can Explain Its Decision C．Robot Making Decisions: No Longer a Dream D．Robot-Human Communication: No Longer a Problem 答案　B 解析　标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了有关机器人的一项实验研究，目的是让机器人经过训练，可以大声说出自己的内心决策过程，故选B项。 William Tenn is one of those science fiction writers who are well-known by dedicated fans and hardly known by casual readers.When asked to choose a favorite William Tenn's science fiction short story, many would name The Brooklyn Project, which is almost a perfect short story.But I like character-driven stories, light-hearted humour and a twist that sneaks up on you, and science fiction author William Tenn delivered truly impressive humour and characterization in Time in Advance. Time in Advance is the story of a man who's about to commit a deadly crime—a crime for which he's already paid his debt to society.Far from being a dark story of a cruel criminal secretly planning a cold-blooded murder, Tenn's tale takes a light approach.The hero is aiming to commit an interesting crime, but not only is nobody about to stop him…his criminal intentions make him a superstar.Cool concept, huh? How many times have you read a story that starts off with a good idea? Time in Advance has almost perfect performance.The “what if” in this case is “What if people paid for the crime of murder before they committed it？” Tenn takes this idea and develops its arrangements with complete and thorough mastery. Tenn shines at surprising endings—funny “aha” endings, such as in The Brooklyn Project.Time in Advance not only has that, but it also has a “feel good” ending, something really lacking in science fiction today.Yes, the ending somewhat dulls the cutting edge of the social comment.But it works.I consider Time in Advance truly one of the best science fiction stories of all time. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/文学。本文为说明文，主要是关于作家William Tenn的科幻作品Time in Advance的推介。 32．Why is the book The Brooklyn Project mentioned? A．To improve the fame of the author. B．To introduce Time in Advance better. C．To prove Tenn's thorough mastery. D．To highlight its perfect plot. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段第二、三句可推知，提及William Tenn的作品The Brooklyn Project是为了更好地介绍Time in Advance，故选B项。 33．What can we know about Time in Advance? A．It consists of four stories. B．It is casually written. C．It is sort of humorous. D．It's William Tenn's best known book. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段末句可知，这本书的一个特点就是幽默，故选C项。 34．What can we infer about Time in Advance from the second paragraph? A．It is a dark story. B．It's a story of superstars. C．Its hero does good to the society. D．Its hero is a cold-blooded killer. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段末句可知，他的犯罪意图使他成为超级明星，但是不是真正意义上的superstar。由此推知，他的所谓“犯罪”对社会是有好处的，故选C项。 35．What is the text probably? A．A book recommendation. B．A science fiction. C．A well-famous magazine. D．A humorous book. 答案　A 解析　文章出处题。本文主要是关于作家William Tenn的科幻作品Time in Advance的推介，故选A项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Hollywood's theory that machines with evil minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly.　36　 In 1960 a well-known mathematician put it this way，“If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency whose operation we cannot effectively control, we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.” 　37　 For the machine, this quality is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead.So if we send out a robot to fetch coffee, it will secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who gets in the way.If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against super AI with the real world as the chessboard. The possibility of losing such a match is alarming.Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a firewall, never allowing them to affect the real world.　38　 We have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines. Solving the safety problem seems to be possible but not easy.There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines.But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand，　39　 Some argue that humans and machines can coexist working as a team—yet that's not possible unless machines share the goals of humans.Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are sitting ducks.Still others think that super AI is a pipe dream.On September 11, 1933, a famous physicist stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking nonsense.” 　40　 A．as it has been by some AI researchers. B．Moreover, we have a firewall security problem. C．Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work. D．because many AI researchers will figure out a way. E．However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard did it. F．A purpose-driven machine has one characteristic：a wish to preserve its own existence. G．The real problem is that AI may become skilled at achieving something other than what we really want. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/科学与技术。本文为说明文，主要讲了人工智能(AI)随着科技的发展可能超出人类的控制以及人类应如何应对此类安全问题。 36．答案　G　 解析　因果关系。上文认为邪恶机器将会驱动杀手机器人军队是错误的论断，空处与引出真正的问题有关，而下文指出要在机器里放入我们真正想要的目的，G项(真正的问题是人工智能可能会熟练地实现我们真正想要的东西以外的东西)符合语境，故选G项。 37．答案　F　 解析　总分关系。根据下文可知，空处与介绍目的驱动型机器人的特点有关，故选F项(目的驱动型机器人有一个特点：希望保持自己的存在)。 38．答案　C 解析　转折关系。根据上下文可知，空处与把机器人密封在防火墙里不让它们影响现实世界这个计划没成功有关，且C项的that plan指的是上文的we can seal the machines inside a firewall, never allowing them to affect the real world，故选C项(不幸的是，这个计划似乎不太可能奏效)。 39．答案　A 解析　例举关系。下文讲述了研究员对人工智能问题的一些观点，可得出空处与一些人工智能研究人员对这一问题的观点有关，故选A项(就像一些人工智能研究人员所做的那样)。 40．答案　E　 解析　转折关系。空处与上文形成转折，内容与有物理学家做到了有关，故选E项(然而，在1933年9月12日，物理学家Leo Szilard做到了)。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 January 25th,2021 marked the 100th anniversary of the first use of the term “robot” to describe a non-human, artificial being. The robots as named in Karel Capek's 1921 play Rossum's Universal Robots are more 　41　 in design and function to Star Trek's Data than most of the robots that are 　42　 in our factories.Capek's robots, a term he 　43　 for the play, were molded out of a chemical material and looked 　44　 like humans.They could do double-and-a-half-time work, allowing their human owners to simply 　45　.At the end of the play, the robots killed all the 　46　.

She once gave the class a writing assignment.“Write an essay about summer vacation，” she said.“Be as creative as you can.” Well, that night Jim sat at his desk at home and stared unhappily at a blank sheet of paper.He didn't want to write a stupid essay about his summer vacation.Boring.So he gave up on the assignment but wrote what he wanted to—not an essay at all but a science fiction.It was about a distant planet that didn't have summer—it was spring all the time.And it didn't have vacations either.The aliens on the planet worked 24 hours a day. The next morning he handed in the story but that night he lay awake until three a.m., thinking: Why did I do that? I totally ignored the assignment.Maybe it'd take Mrs Peabody a few days to grade the essays.I'd beg her for a chance to write another one, the sort she wanted. But when he got to class the next morning, it turned out that Mrs Peabody had read and graded the essays.And when he saw the way she glanced at him with a strange look in her stern, psychic eyes, he wished he'd stayed home sick.I'm in trouble, Jim thought, blushing already, betrayed by his freckles(雀斑), staring at the floor.Mrs Peabody continued, “Almost everyone in class wrote an essay about his or her summer vacation.Almost everyone.” This is bad, Jim thought.I'm getting an F, I know it.“But，” the teacher said, “one student decided he didn't feel like doing that.” Jim glanced up long enough to see her eyes focused on him.This is worse than an F…I'm in note-to-the-parents territory now. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 One possible version： Then Jim heard his name called.Jim's heart missed a beat.“Come here to the front and read your story，” said Mrs Peabody.Desperately, Jim tried to read her intentions from her face, but got nothing.Feeling all the eyes on him, he walked to the front of the classroom with trembling steps.Then he gave Mrs Peabody another glimpse and found her staring at him with no expression.Jim felt a drop of sweat dripping down his back, itching.Clearing up his throat, Jim began to read his story. When Jim finished reading his story, a smile spread across Mrs Peabody's face. “Boys and girls，” Mrs Peabody said clearly to the rest of the class, “Jim is the only one who got an A on the assignment because he was as creative as I had asked you to be.” After a few seconds' pause, applause broke out.Face blushing, Jim couldn't believe what he had just heard.All previous worries disappeared.It turned out that the teacher's real intention was to make students value creativity.It was his reverence for the teacher as well as a serious attitude towards tasks that got Jim an A． 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
